    Waste of a licensed property. Graphics are poor, gameplay sucks, matchmaking is terrible and the aiming is laughable. Don't waste your money and time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Frame Rate is awful on PS4 no optimisation, graphical glitches all over the place. No PC to PS4 party creation so cross-play is strangers only. Hit level 100 in two days without double XP now what, no prestige options or end game content. Spoiler you unlock 5 outfits or 4 if you ordered Deluxe.

    Sad to say really poor rushed out game with same problems as trial.

    Matchmaking is a joke, all good saying we will look into it but it’s the same as trial so what are they actually doing??

    If you can get over the bad graphics, terrible frame rate there is a good game hiding away, but in 2020 there is no excuse for something so bad looking to perform like this.

    Also sadly because of the massive lack of content the game is likely to die before it gets the chance to get better. Seriously 2 days of play to unlock everything apart from colours on skins.

    Ignore the 10’s that’s just bait, if you really want this wait for sale.    … Expand

    Had no clue what this game is like, except for the basic concepts. The graphics on ps4 are barely comparable to Black Ops 1, which came out 10 years ago. In addition to inept and horribly outdated visuals, this game dares to not only run at 30 frames but dip below it and reach 20 frames multiple times during every match. Customization is fine for the most part but there isn't enoughHad no clue what this game is like, except for the basic concepts.

In addition to inept and horribly outdated visuals, this game dares to not only run at 30 frames but dip below it and reach 20 frames multiple times during every match. Customization is fine for the most part but there isn't enough weapons, not enough attachments for them either. The only saving grace of this game is Predator, but you can only play him if you aren't in a party. WTF. Even in Friday the 13th, which came out 3 years ago, you could be in a party and still get Jason and try to kill your friends. Why do I have to host private matches for that?! This is absolutely horrid - the most fun you can have with this game, you can't have it with friends. Even for 40 dollars, this isn't worth it. If you're a Predator fan, wait for a sale. I feel bad for Illfonic, I like these guys. Please, do patch this game, add more maps, fix the AI, and make it so we could get Predator while in a party, please. For now, I'll be playing something else.… Expand

    The predator isn't even scary, it plays a very different game from yours making its appearance in a match just a slight annoyance.
    Having an AI in a multiplayer game is pretty dumb especially if the AI itself is dumb (which it is, if not the dumbest).
    The game is still in a sorry state a year past its release and softlocks woefully often.
    Overall Predator HG is somehow even worse than Friday the 13th the game only the controls are slightly improved but the atmosphere is absent.
    And lastly, it's another šitty game to the PS Plus collection. Sony must be real happy that this game bears a name of a famous franchise which is their only excuse to put this on PS+.
    In other words: How to give away poor games and lose as least money as possible.    … Expand

    Unplayable and clunky piece of garbage. Matchmaking takes A LOT of time and if you are lucky to find a game, then you're going to suffer. Shooting is bad, the game is buggy & the predator is underpowered.

    The only decent thing is graphics. Which is kinda ok-ish.

    I wish I could refund this.

Predator, the game loading a match WITHOUT your custom load out numerous times, just a few issues I can rattle off... I can get over the matchmaking time, the longest I had to wait for a match was almost 5 minutes and that's because I was Predator. At first I hated being Predator, but, eventually started to love it, as once you get comfortable with it you are pretty much in control of the match (unless going up against an experienced fire team, which doesn't happen often). There are times when you are grouped up with puds that kinda just run off in any direction. I always chuckle when less than 2 minutes in the game and they are killed out in the middle of nowhere. Although that sucks, when you're on a good team that actually wants to play the game as intended and back each other up, it can be a lot of fun. It's too bad the content is lacking and there are constantly idiots that are on your team and have no idea what team work means,, if that weren't the case I would rated this much, much higher! Really sad that a good game get a 3 because it's player base sucks, but, thats how I grade, sorry game. Great concept for a game, I also enjoyed the assymetrical genre. F13 is more of a slow burn while this one is much quicker and more evenly matched.… Expand

    Don't buy if you intend to play with friends cross platform it does not work and this is after the patch 1.3. The game feels like someone is constantly shining a flashlight in your eyes or looking directly into the sun, the graphics even with anti-aliasing quality maxed out feels like the trees come from minecraft and the over all UI is just bad.

Я все же надеюсь что разработчики займутся билдом на приставке и подправят графику, стабильность игры, после чего будут добавлять контент, так как игра на данный момент пустовата, быстро надоедает, и все было бы куда лучше, если бы сама игра не выдавала такие тормоза, лаги и графику.

    A little harsh? Not at all this game is insanely repetitive, buggy and the queue times are outrageous and I feel a line at the DMV will be faster. This game has you play as either a fireteam member or the iconic predator both have their fair share of problems but playing as the fire team will be possibly the most enjoyable but it's a water downed call of duty/bland genetic fps style of gameplay as you go to objective to objectives with dumb AI that does next to dirt and aren't a real threat or fact and just simply are there...

    The main thing is the 4v1 against the predator which sadly is insanely one-sided which you'd expect but it's not in the predators favor and the power leans more towards the fire team as they are not only armed but have many perks, gear and guns to just shut down and kill the predator making the predator nothing more than a joke which sadly I like games with tension and this game seriously lacks it unless you are trying to defuse the predators self destruct but most often than not you will mange to just break it before they can set it off.

    The predator themselves can barely carry this game as they have a lot of interesting mechanics but... its a buggy mess as you will hop around get stuck and be unable to climb certain trees but much worse finding and being able to deal with the fireteam members can really strip away the enjoyment of this game and I feel this game needs to put a few patches out and really upgrade itself but as it stands now this isn't worth a buy its worth a rent from a local redbox or a purchase from a local bargain bin.    … Expand

    At first it was fun I won some and lost some but I got better so I was on a winning streak with predator. I stopped at level 27 because I've got destroyed by the same team twice and they did nothing but tracked me and hunt me down and I had no power to get away, I thought I was the hunter but I became the hunted.

    Predator: Hunting Grounds is difficult to advise even the most loyal fans of the franchise. The game is not worth your time, even if it will be distributed on a PS Plus subscription or sold at a huge discount. It is almost impossible to get pleasure here. Terrible graphics, unbalanced gameplay, poorly developed mechanics and broken matchmaking leave only a deep sense of frustration.
